Bleeding after surgical management

I had the surgical method of miscarriage management yesterday and am just looking for a little advice from anyone that can shed some light on this...

I'm still very groggy from the GA but have had very little bleeding to speak of and only mild cramping. From what they prepared me for, I was expecting at least a few days of heavy bleeding but there's practically nothing at all. They sort of prepared me for what happens if bleeding continues but there was no mention of not bleeding. Admittedly I've spent most of the day lying horizontally but not sure if that makes a difference! Should I be worried there's no bleeding or think myself lucky?

Hi highshelf. Still very little. I seem to be passing little brown clots more than anything. Also very little pain. It seems to come in waves if I have any. Good to hear you're also not suffering too much physically. How are you holding up emotionally?

Hi emvy . How is the bleeding today? I bled a bit through the night and it's slightly heavier today but very mild. No pain, which is good.

Thank you smurf. I'm sorry you have had to go through this as well, and more than once. I did wonder whether it may get heavier once I spend more time up and about. Toileting wise I've had the opposite problem though! I am putting that down to medication of some kind and I would presume yours probably is too. Thanks again, I hope you're also holding up okay x

Hi emvy and highself sorry about your losses.
I had surgical management yesterday also and have very little bleeding today. However I am suffering a bit this evening from diarrhoea and cramps :-/ I dunno if that's from the misopostel they have before the surgery or something else.
But when I had surgical management back in September I remember the bleeding being much heavier than this time round. I will also say be prepared over the next few days / week or could get heavier as you become more active as that definitely happened me last time.
Hope your both getting on OK.

Ah ok well that makes me feel a little better to know that I'm not the only one that isn't experiencing this "heavy bleeding" they prepared me for, thank you. I am also sorry for what you're going through, pretty tough deal, huh?! Take care of yourself, thank you again for your response.

Hi. Sorry to hear what you are going through. I too had surgical management yesterday (MVA with no GA). I have very little bleeding and no cramps. The only discharge I have is a yellow colour and feels waxy. I believe this may have been the antibiotics I had to insert before the procedure (sorry if tmi).
